Post breastfeeding cysts?

I weaned my 18 month son a month ago. I found a lump in my right breast a week ago and had an ultrasound on it today. It's apparently a cluster of cysts which should go away in a couple of months. Has anyone else had this happen?

Re: Post breastfeeding cysts?

Before pregnancy and nursing, I got cysts all the time. I have fibrocystic breast condition. I haven't had any cysts lately, but that may be because I'm still nursing. When I did have them, they would come and go, usually along with my monthly cycle. Sometimes they were quite painful, other times they weren't. Moist heat helped.
